Kai-Fu Lee is heading to New York for a series of speaking engagements promoting his new book AI Native: The Mandate to Transform Your Company, with four events still open for registration: Founders Forum North America and World Business Forum NY (Nov 5), China Institute (Nov 6), and Columbia Business School (Nov 9).
The book's core argument: AI is not another tech cycle but a fundamental shift in the economics of business. When human thinking — the most expensive thing companies buy — becomes nearly free, organizations must redesign themselves around agentic AI. It notes that two years ago the best agents could autonomously do about six minutes of an expert's work; today top agents can complete a full workday of the smartest humans in less time than a coffee break, at a fraction of the cost.
